Millions of Americans suffer from Long COVID. This disease affects each person differently, so no single research study can provide all the answers to Long COVID for everyone. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) created the RECOVER Initiative to find answers across many different types of research studies.

RECOVER brings together clinicians, scientists, caregivers, patients, and community members to understand, treat, and prevent Long COVID. We’ve created the world’s most comprehensive and diverse group of Long COVID study participants.

We’re learning about Long COVID and testing different treatments. We’re sharing our research, quickly learning from it, adapting, and constantly refocusing our efforts to ease suffering for millions of people.

Together, we are working to understand, treat, and prevent Long COVID.
